Guide on how to install and configure Comodo Firewall

[Logethica]

I will check it out once they lift my data restriction later in the evening, I dont usually run out but the DL of the AU put me over.
I hope this firewall is a solid one, as I will only be running Voodoo and WAR as main protection, a lot of members here trust it so
I will give it a try.
Thank You @Logethica

No worries ,buddy ..
When you download CF be careful that they don't force "geekbuddy" on you..
It may be one of those occasions to pay extra close attention to the custom install option.
From my research Comodo Firewall is one of the best that one could ever hope to get..
Despite complaints about long-standing bugs, most appear to be really happy with it.
As you know..VS and WAR are both excellent products,and IMO with the introduction of CF to your config also,you will have an awesome set up.

you have example of setup here : Comodo Internet Security v8 Setup/configuration thread (Setting Only)

With CF in place, would you recommend disabling Windows Firewall?

 

[Av Gurus]

Comodo will do that for you.

CFW should disable Windows Firewall when it's installed. If not, go ahead and disable Windows Firewall.

Comodo will do that for you.

And only for a small fee. What nice people.

Hi got CFW 10 installed with cruel sisters config and avast free 2288 version.Should I keep this or go with voodooshield and bitdefender free or avast free? I like comodo firewall though.Thkds

CFW with cs config + avast is heck of combination,, if it fill your habits keep it, no problem for sure in security thinking.

Hello, i recently watched the YT video by cruelsister for config of CFW. Do i really need an AV (i usually don't install any new unknown software and i will be using Firefox inside the container/sandbox for all sites except for YT)? I was thinking of disabling defender.
I have MBAM premium (using v2.2, hate v3), will it be enough?

With best regards

With CFW, no

I was thinking of disabling defender.

Not a good idea.

I have Malwarebytes Anti-Malware premium (using v2.2, hate v3), will it be enough?

IMO, there is no point using outdated version of a security software.

Thanks for replying @Umbra

Not a good idea.

I am a little confused.

@rockstarrocks
If you have Win8/10, disabling Windows Defender is not worth the hassle; so just keep it.
If you are on Win7, you don't need to add any AVs because Comodo will be the main protection. Of course, only if Comodo is set properly.

Thank you for clearing my doubt. Comodo is setup as per cruelsister's config.
It's really fast overall setup.

Yes CS settings are a good compromise between usability and security especially for comodo beginners.
it is a good start to learn Comodo.

Finally got a push upgrade to CFW v11 tonight. After rebooting I thought I'd look around to see what changed since I was running with settings suggested by our sweet sister.

Then I saw this...

Really? We have a config setting named for Meghan? Hmmmm....

Are you sure that's not how you called your former configuration?
Usually Comodo Firewall resets the default configurations (Internet Security, Proactive Security, Firewall Security) and keeps the one you set before the upgrade [usually it's called XXX Security (custom)]. But if you saved your configuration as "Proactive CS", that name will appear after the upgrade

you cant be serious

I suppose that happened some time ago... I googled the config name and came up empty, so it's likely somthing my foggy brain conjured up.

Since "upgrading" I've found Event Viewer chock full of CFW-related errors, so I rolled back my system to v10. My plan now is to remove CFW fully and live on with WD and VS.

That often happens with CFW on Windows 10, that's why I have given up with it. CCAV may be worth trying, even if I had issues with high CPU and disk usage

Even having upgraded Win10 and Win8.1 machines, I get "update" installs with every boot. I tried an installer "repair" but it found nothing. I don't have time for this hassle. Cleaning the 8.1 machine now.
